Hi,
Sorry to have to meet everyone one here under these circumstances. This appears to be a horrible disease and my prayers are going out to all of you.
My mother-in- law was just diagnosed with ALS today. Actually she was diagnosed with "Droopy Head Syndrome". I believe after researching DHS led me to her having ALS.
Am I right?
Her head is dropped into her chest, she has a hard time swallowing and has lost her sense of balance, causing her to fall several times within the last four months.
What test should Doctors be performing for this diagnosis? How long should it take to diagnose? I just feel like that labeled her with it all to quick.
Thanks for all your help,
JJBroc
